One other point about MySQL is that it fell into Oracle's lap with their acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2009. Given Oracle's regular commercial shenanigans it wouldn't be too surprising if there are directives in place to ensure that MySQL never becomes a serious competitor to their own in-house RDBMS product.
Now granted there is MariaDB as a fallback if the unthinkable happens — however personally for me there is enough there to bypass MySQL entirely and go straight to PostgreSQL.
(Amazon put in a significant effort which finally in October 2019 resulted in their business shedding the last of its dependencies on Oracle — a move that had little to do with "Dogfooding").
